CABLE HIGHLIGHTS:  MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL, needless to say, dominated the cable night, up 0.07 from last week to 5.20.  On VH1, LOVE & HIP HOP was up 0.04 to 1.41, BLACK INK CREW gained 0.03 to 1.20, and SHE’S GOT GAME rose 0.06 to 0.94.  USA’s WWE coverage was at 1.13-1.12 over its 3 hours, compared to 1.22-1.09 last week.  On Discovery, FAST N LOUD jumped 0.25 to 0.84, and RUSTED DEVELOPMENT was up 0.14 to 0.46.  On Bravo, REAL HOUSEWIVES OF ORANGE COUNTY lost 0.06 to 0.75, and LADIES OF LONDON dropped a tenth to 0.29.  A “week after” update on Comedy Central’s THE DAILY SHOW WITH TREVOR NOAH:  it was down 0.05 from last Monday to 0.39, although that’s somewhat misleading because of its Viacom roadlock premiere.  (It was at 0.53 the next night on Comedy Central only.)  Still, if it can stabilize at level it’ll be doing OK.  On ABCFamily (soon to be renamed “Freeform,” per today’s news), SWITCHED AT BIRTH edged up 0.02 to 0.36, but was down 0.04 to 0.56 in the F12-34 demo.  On MTV, AWKWARD. dropped 0.06 in 18-49s to 0.32 and lost 0.24 in F12-34s to 0.74, FAKING IT fell 0.06 to 0.19 in 18-49s, GIRL CODE LIVE ticked down to 0.09, and TODRICK fell 0.02 to 0.07 (146K total viewers).  Finally, it just feels like mention should be made of TLC’s Monday night double-feature:  THE MAN WITH NO PENIS at 0.26, with a lead-in of THE MAN WITH THE 80 LB GROIN at 0.21.  Someone call the Emmys!
